iOS Music Production New, Free Loops, and Hardware

Sir Sampleton is an easy to use sampling musical keyboard that allows you to record sounds through the microphone and then play them on dual piano keyboards. You can sample your voice, your pets, synthesizers, drums, or anything that makes noise. Samples can be looped and customized, and the app includes a rhythm machine to accompany your music.

Sampleton’s warm sound and simple interface are inspired by sampling Casio and Yamaha keyboards of the 80’s, but with many additional modern features like MIDI, Audiobus, and adjustable sound parameters.
